Not hungry and not losing

MiahsMyJoy · November 8, 2007

1st 2 1/2 weeks post op I lost 26lbs! Crazy right!? Got my 1st fill of 2.4 cc on 11/1. I don't eat more the 4 to 6 ozs at a time. I don't get hungry between meals. I'm eating a fraction of my pre-band diet but I haven't lost a pound in weeks. I have added more carbs with yogurt and cottage cheese, is this the reason for no lose? I thought I would have more weight lose initially. Is this my 1st plateau 4 weeks out? :faint:

I would keep a food diary and work out how many calories you are actually consuming. If you're having enough maybe you need to add exercise. If you are following the rules and you're not putting on weight I wouldn't worry. Sometimes the body is stubborn and tries to hold onto the weight but it has to let go sometime!

Good luck!!

I haven't had a fill yet, but I would wonder about the carbs. My doctor says you should eat Protein first and then eat vegies and fruits, and that you should always watch your carbs. A lot of his patients try to stick to the sugar busters diet and they are quite successful. I'm also trying to follow these suggestions. Hope you get back of track. Good luck!

I initially had a big loss too and then stalled for a few weeks. Once I started increasing Protein I was full longer so I didn't have a need so much for carbs. And the big thing for me was started an exercise program- that really got my weight loss going again. Are you exercising? I think our bodies also have to adjust for a while when we drop weight all of the sudden so fast, so it tries to hold on to calories for a bit. But is all evened out for me after a few weeks and I started to see the pounds drop again.
